She Promised Her Boyfriend She’d Wait Two Years — Then a New Man Made Her Question Everything
Chapter 8
The university exhibition opened on Friday night.
Sophie stood beside Julian’s model.
Their project received the highest score in the department.
Then the director approached.
“We want to nominate you for the international fellowship.”
Sophie blinked.
“Me?”
“One year.”
She looked at Julian.
He smiled.
“You earned it.”
The fellowship would take her across Europe to work with experimental community housing projects.
It was everything she had wanted.
Everything she had forgotten she wanted.
Then she thought of Adrian.
Of London.
Of the promises.
That night she called him.
“I got an opportunity.”
“What kind?”
She told him.
Silence.
“That’s amazing.”
“Is it?”
“It should be.”
“Adrian…”
“I’m happy for you.”
But his voice sounded distant.
“Would you go?”
“I don’t know.”
He exhaled.
“Then you need to decide who you’re doing this for.”
